摘要

Although investors are now less jit-tery about a possible default by the American Treasury, they are rightly still nervous about a drama unfolding in the market for state and local debt. Since May, yields on bonds issued by Puerto Rico, a self-governing American territory, have shot up to between 8% and 10%, despite their (barely) investment-grade rating and tax-exempt interest. Puerto Rico carries outsized importance in America's almost $4 trillion municipal-debt market, which includes bonds issued by states and other local authorities as well as by cities. The island's current debt, between $52 billion and $70 billion (depending on how it is measured), is the third-largest behind California's and New York's, despite a far smaller and poorer population. In America's 50 states the average ratio of state debt to personal income is 3.4%. Moody's, a ratings agency, puts Puerto Rico's tax-supported debt at an eye-watering 89% (see chart).
